Prince Naseem Hamed - NAZ (A Knockout Documentary)

Prince Nasim [Applause] H oh my word so all over right out the blue one punch the fight's all over can he take the power of Nassim hammed The Knockout expert a knockout artist with blazing speed and princh Nassim Hamed retains his title I'm never ever going to lose blatantly I ain't Los nothing right hand has jacked him in the first round there's that power again it's not that you're taking your opponent too lightly tonight no I'm not taking him lightly he's going to get beat just like the rest nobody at this moment is producing round

by round excitement the way this guy does it's a good look at greatness we we have't he took his gloves off now so the commission can check it see if there's any metal anything they can't believe the power the speed movement and Power exemplary the combinations are blindingly fast NZ was a showman who danced and dazzled at every opportunity I think we can expect another of those choreographed entrances and what ring entrance has he cooked up for us tonight I wonder we'll never have seen anything quite like the entrance show that Prince Nassim hammed is

about to unveil the greatest showman as the boxer since Muhammad Ali he came out of the Flying Carpet how amazing is that but it's Antics in the ring which lead to some people accusing him of cloning aone his flamboyant Persona made him a star but it was his knockout power the punches come from such unusual angles that made him a legend and once again you see the awesome punching power of Prince Nim Amed and that's going to be the end of the fight by the way with Prince theine when they get hit it's a whole

different story Prince nazim [Applause] hammed this 20-year-old southp has been in boxing since he was 7 years olding right there dropped him but that shows the natural power that Nas has he doesn't wind up he doesn't set himself for the punch hammed is an exception a fighter from an Arab culture where sport is a Pastime not a profession as an amateur won seven national titles I beat everybody I beat the Olympic champion from America um as far as I'm concerned I think I'm the best out there here is Prince Nassim Hamed his debut well you

know we've launched the careers of Chris Eubank and Herby Hyde on Pro box and this might just be a young man to join that Dynamic du Nim is a southp but he's very unorthodox and throws punches off either thought and I hand he open his career with a string of violent knockout wins with a single punch he was capable of banishing opponents to the shadow W good shot body shot get over it it really took the wind out of himself and that's all over well delighted young man doing his fli to say is a hard

hitter Round One schedule for six Hamed in the leopard blumer in the white left got him and that's it a third successive second round win here come the acrobatics The Arrogant swagger like people say he's a bit mouthy and he's this and that but he's backing it up you know cuz he's knocking MFS out you know what I'm saying rattling off knockout win after knockout and great body shot from Nim I'm young cool common collector confident extraordinary powerful you name it I've got it reallying up there you can see him just bending the knees getting

full power into these punches oh left to the body and he winched in pain as it landed champion at Phantom Johnny armor oh lovely right there from Ham straight through the middle down goes L and lay still oh lovely right hand slinks down the canvas and I think they're telling him to stay where he is it's all over and providing the top of the bill is boxing's latest ego who certainly makes Chris Eubank look a bit shy and retiring but only a little bit he's an outstanding 20-year-old from Sheffield whose parents come from North Yemen

the name Prince nazim Ahmed and he's a right little show off here we go we see if Nasim hmed can really live up to those both so far he has done certainly got a lot of talent with each explosive knockout his Legend grew oh dear southp l 10 did The Bu right above us he's not going to get up from that I can't say that I blame him crowd of love that you see well he comes from North Yemen originally born in Sheffield he's certainly going to be a star this kid by the look of

it he's been called bigheaded and arrogant but can he fight at the highest level we'll find out a lot more tonight Antics rubbed some the wrong way but he grabbed the attention of Spectators he's very difficult to hit he's very elusive he'll stick his chin out but I doubt bardi will get too near it find there it goes he didn't Vault the Rope by the way so you missed nothing there with the I'm actually learned from the the video he said he watch it oh dear bro people forgot about Nim and his style was amazing

South for left hand straight as an arrow didn't travel very far but he got the message didn't he his style was so crazy he had his hands down by his knees and he would like Bend at the waist and just Wing punches out Brave little guy but just taken out by some very accurate and hard punching for a Bight no question you got on with it straight away instead of messing about Y no uh no funny stuff no show booting as they say I just wented down to business tonight predict the round in third and

boom took him out in a few short years Nasim has taken himself and his family from a couple of rooms above his father's news agent shop in WinCo Bank just outside Sheffield to a world full of riches that his family could scarcely have dream of well I think his last performance was quite breathtaking hand speed was incredible that of a cat punching power was incredible he just looks an awesome Prospect and obviously he's got to keep winning and keep performing the way he has done I'm sure he's going to perform tonight the first gymnastic routine

hands are so fast the punches has come from such unusual angles that most of his opponents find it an extremely bewildering experience another fan pleasing destruction it must hit with some strength this guy I mean he's a rough old customer RZ he's been around a bit and unbeaten but one thing you cannot question is his power he is the biggest punching featherweight out there I'm convinced of that eyesight indispensable to a fighter people don't understand what the eyes do for you peripheral vision the ability to see punches coming it's why Alli never got hit he

doesn't get hit the same way it's the Young Prince Nim ahed has done everything right so far 15 fights 15 wins 13 inside the distance a couple of championship belts as well and he's still only 20 well it's a small Arena here but it's tightly packed and he's done the pr really well up here well he didn't really get much of a look in with that one so now let's see what Hamed can do well faith is let Mohammad Alan for Engle he might get blown away here if he's not careful another left Dred him

he can't cope with the speed he looks befuddled Havoc might take him out in one here well this is excellent work oh well that's that is a knockdown with no shot it's all over in the fourth round and there is the official somersault of course 14th knockout or stoppage and this kid's got great eyesight got great leg movement excellent legs and uh those two things what Ali had great eyesight great great move so relaxed I'm ready to do the business it's not that you're taking your opponent too lightly tonight no I'm not taking him lightly

he's going to get beat just like the rest NZ had become a superstar in the UK [Applause] he's got so much speed and so much power oh a left he's got so much natural power all he needs to do is to get his arm extended and and punch quickly and that's what he donees he got no control of his feet I mean he really planted that with a champion skill there when Prince got you hurt he put you down stop he's over that's the last thing we want that was unnecessary that last punch totally unnecessary

still un baiting of course the best I've ever seen my favorite was Muhammad Ali and Ray Robinson brilliant Fighters but God Be Me judge this the best I've ever seen it's been so far so good in the career of Hamed but still early days isn't it Barry yes without a doubt I mean there there's going to be a period now before he fights for the world title but I can't I feel sure it can't be more than sort of four five six months [Music] away straight out of the circus isn't it the general expectation is

that hammed may now only be a matter of months away from getting his shot at a world championship big right hand Nassim ringing around this [Applause] Arena oh terrific right hand a Delayed Action fall for Angeles it seemed to take a while to take effect it was the right hand I'm sure that did it is he going to beat the count no he's not he's knocked out in the second round there's the back flip na he really has caught the national imagination this young fell from Scotland to Somerset Prince Nassim hammed has been building his

support and the support is here at the Albert Hall he's next into the ring a big night for him Chris hubank Eat Your Heart Out NS was one win away from a title shot two to go 12 somewhere along the line you get the feeling somebody is going to connect like that left hand from N I tell you what this fellow is a puncher get up says Hamed he's done it again another somersault another Victory and the March towards a world championship but he seems to have everything doesn't he marvelous reflexes people watching that are

going to say well we don't want to fight him it's it's difficult for you to find a fight it is the problem is he's got such power you know I mean I've never seen anybody punch like this you know he punches like a like a middle is he the complete article do there still you know you always hold a little bit in reserve but he he looks so talented just like to see him hit on the chin and be tested a bit but all the other attributes he's got in abundance the prince of height Nassim

hammed the showman who Ador the Limelight and the adulation The Humble featherweight King The People's Champion Steve Robinson racking up seven successful defenses and proving a durable world champion well my money's on Rubble there's my 40 pound there on Rubble tonight cuz NZ he is going down he's Much Too Tall much too big much too strong and his he going to go down within four rounds without a sweat Hamed's boastings have been backed by Brilliance in the ring so far an extraordinary Talent at bantamweight and super bantom but now he seeks a first world title

the time had come for Prince to take his place at top the division are we about to enter a new era in boxing in this country or is Hamed about to be proven moov just another overhyped fraud 12 rounds for the WBO featherweight Championship defense right down he's talking to Robinson as well Robinson says okay then he's trying to go him into coming out of that defensive shell and he's managed to do that I think Prince Rose to the occasion now hammet's trying to open up and look at Robinson trying to close the range now

hammet's laughing he really is up for this one or he should be because this is a fight which could Elevate him to a new level if he can get through it a brilliant boxing in that round and it carries on after the fers no love lost in there I think Robinson's a little bit angry at the moment oh he's got him down goes Robinson for only the second time in his career surely can only be a matter of time before nassie muhamed is Unleashed on the American public there are already stirrings of interest in him

over [Applause] [Music] there he stopped the fight as he slipped in the corner and Prince Nassim hammed is now King the coronation of the young star given a display of extraordinary quality where he's fully Justified the hype and the boasting well super star him and there's no question about it he's young he's superbly talented his speed and balance is absolutely extraordinary and uh his his ability to sort of figure out what a guy's got and figure out as Achilles heel is quite incredible a great Champion is a very eclectic mixture of characteristics yes you've got

to have the goods in the ring but what separates those fighters from the superstars of the sport is personality Prince n's first title defense was a doozy oh my word oh my word perhaps the fastest knockdown in boxing history St should be stopped that young Fell's legs are completely gone yeah it's all over all over the most clinical finish seen in the British ring for some time and Prince nazim Hamed retains his WBO fellow weight title I they with other Fighters like Johnny Nelson and er bom and G who have equally difficult to hit but

it's naz's power that shocks and surprises me tremendous power does have to set himself to r that power Prince Nassim hammed has swept all before him on on this side of the Atlantic as he makes his second defense of the WBO World featherweight title tonight against Daniel Alisa from Puerto Rico and tonight we'll see if he can take another step towards his avowed intention of becoming one of the all-time greats and what ring entrance has he cooked up for us tonight I [Applause] wonder [Music] [Applause] mam remember last time out he run in 35 seconds

Prince Nassim he's the tble fighter that every fight is is always exciting to look forward to because anything can happen as Barry says he leans off comes in leaves his chin wide open sometimes oh he's got him he's got him down n is put down by a right hand it's was only a flash knockdown Prince shook the knockdown off good solid right hand there oh left hook and down goes Alisa there's the answer knock down in both rounds so [Music] far and I don't think you'll get up from that it's called off the fight is

over the fight is over there'll be no count he's it in round two the night time he's won in round two and that was Hamed's answer to suffering the first knockdown of his career his proud pleasing wins prompted many to wonder when he'd head overseas I think that that would be a a tremendous uh promotion for ham tremendous promotion for him I mean he's uh they know about him over at the boxing fraternity now the public at large know about him and he can can be a big star over there in his next fight Nasim

predicted a round two knockout really it's all about what the lean is going to make of nazim cuz he throws punches from all sorts of angles trying to step it up now fast punches goon he's got him going here big right hand he walked on to that and the moment ning's doing what he wants right hand and a thunderous left Molina I don't think is going to be able to carry on as he it is over it he stopped in the second round he said round two it is round two and that was really back

to business as usual his ninth second round win in 24 fights he's still the champion give us your Reflections on that performance you said round two it was round two yeah but was it in the second minute of round two the way I predicted no it wasn't it was in the last minute around two but we're not going to argue about that are we the prince's game for which you either love him or you hate him Prince Nim HED who is treated almost like royalty or at least like a rockar in nearby England and hemed

knows exactly how to milk it these entrances I know you think they're great for the Showbiz of the sport but how unfair to the opponent as they have to wait in the ring for him to come in look you go to go on and be Champion yourself and get your entry don't be jealous or or knock the other guy if you Champion you do what you want to the WBO featherweight champion of the world Prince [Applause] team looking to claim the IDE of featherweight STP n challenge Tom Johnson of the key things is what happens

when Prince Nassim hammed lands what he calls his rocket launchers Johnson has been on the floor once orce he's got him with a left hand Johnson backed up against the ropes has to take another right hand really putting power into the right hands now Hamed oh he looks that way Johnson tottering almost went right hand He's Surely ready to go surely only seconds away here if Nassim can find another big punch like that Prince blasted the ibf champ and claimed his second belt Prince Nassim Hamed at the IVF FWE championship of the world to his

WBO belt he is twice a world champion superb Talent he's only young he's 20 years of age and I think that he's going to go on to become the best fighter of this country ever seen WBO and now ibf featherweight champion of the world how does that sound NZ it sounds great two times world champion as I say I was going to be so this the moment when Prince Nassim mamed can send out a message to every other featherweight in the world that he is now the dominant force in this division he predicts the fastest

count of the week here Nassim he says it'll be over in the first round will he be right let's see big left hand from Nassim and Hardy took that well or P then another right hand against Billy Hardy NZ predicted a first round KO hased in the first round there's that power [Applause] [Music] again oh he said round one it is round one he's still the WBO and ibf Champion but that's the story of Prince Nassim hammed durable Fighters people who don't get stopped are just getting blasted away he is the only major boxing attraction

who appears eager to fight all comers he's not hiding behind outrageous demands to duck the best fighters out there which happened for him Jim in four years just over four years ago he fought here as a youngster on the undercard at Wembley nobody really knew what was going to happen don't go and make the tea or coffee now hands are so fast the punches come from such unusual angles one another big left hand goes through oh big right uppercut that Court screw right uppercut which is a trademark punch one he has invented himself the class

Gap is massive he's finding terrific angles here bringing them all bringing them round another good left hand and Cabrera is stopped in the second round just as he' predicted Cabrera hardly landed a punch and again he makes the forecast come true because he's getting 2 and2 million bucks tonight a record for a featherweight n is already one of the most successful boxers of all time with career earnings of over3 million at the end of another spectacular year in the life of Prince Nassim mhammed Britain's most talked about young fighter and I'm proud to announce the

winner of the sports entertainer of 1995 is Prince Nasim hmad while many objected to his over-the-top entrances and ring Persona no one could argue with the results watch me go out there and dismantle a man knocked man clean out in the third round Nasim had become a [Applause] female the crowd here are certainly enjoying every moment of this the do says I am the best featherweight in the world and I will prove it here let's see talk is one thing actions another we bit of showboating as well it's a form of psychological warfare of course

with him among the best opponents that he'd faced judging on that video he's getting marked up busted up around the face now Theo is being picked apart just bit by bit look at this I think he's trying to do all this for the Sheffield fans he's playing to the audience trying to Tor foro who's taking all this NZ put on an absolute clinic in his ninth title defense so far it's basically just been a kind of boxing Master Class really by the champion not too happy took another the big left this fellow is durable but

even he was wed by that then a right blood coming from his nose this could be the Finish now they want to stop it the Doo's Corner want to stop it they rescued him they don't want him to take any more of this and Prince Nassim hammed retains the WBO featherweight championship for the eighth time and I thought that was one of his most impressive performances at last Naz was coming to America Kevin Kelly stands in Nassim hammad's way right now but Nassim hammad on the brink he hopes of capturing the hearts and minds of

the American public neither Prince Nassim hammed nor Kevin Kelly are exactly shy so their final pre-fight face-to-face confrontation was always going to be a lively Affair rarely if ever seen anything like this in the United States we're used to it back home now what are they going to make of this began at Madison Square Garden where Kevin Kelly waited and cooled his heels for a long period of time in the ring while NZ danced and got him but the bottom line really that these American fans will want to know is can he really really fight

when he's pitched in at a decent level as he is tonight Prince Nim lands in the United States there's the Bell both guys come out thr in hard shots open up against the rope in the first round the prince left his chin open and got caught down goes the Kev Kelly time to and it it looked to the American audience like Nas was nothing more than a media hypen no Perell wio in the second round Prince was spun like a top then dropped again down he goes again another big punch by Kevin Kelly the crowd

is going Delirious 2 3 4 down goes Kelly Kelly thr hard punches again this fight has EV and flown back and forth both guys throwing home run shots [Music] now down goes again in the fourth round Nas secured the KO Victory the fight that H knocked out Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly with a second too late getting up he is a phenomenon he can get away with stuff that other Fighters can't get away with for which you either love him or you hate him takes more than just a fighter to uh to be an exception to

be an attraction to make people switch on to make people turn up to a fight on Halloween Prince put on a one-of-a-kind show [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for the WBO featherweight Championship over the world he dropped Vasquez in the first round oh done him with the left hook there he's got to give him an eight count there just walking back into the fire again all over all over and the crowd gone very mad here as you would expect how much of an advantage is your style against fighters who have learned to fight the way

most Fighters have learned to fight my stch people apart is totally on its own it's Unique it's different folks gr a I've heard is getting a reported $7 million for this fight tonight undefeated wo for the w champion of the world man of the British Empire Grey [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and round one begins on that battered Paul angle dropping him three times oh he's got him with a countering shot with the left hand and that might have concluded it oh oh it was a terrific shot and Joe gz stops [Applause] IT and a

new knockout streak has begun now I say he's the best fighter in around now because he makes no excuse he fight the top fighters I'm I wouldn't even do that but what what you like is excitement and and certainly nobody at this moment is producing round by round excitement the way this guy does it's a good look at greatness we we have it's a wonder the sparkly night of boxing from Olympia in London as Nassim hammed defended his WBO worth featherweight title against vuyani bungu of South Africa the former long reigning ibf super bantamweight world

champion and a respected opponent the royalty of boxing Prince Naim hammed he came out of the Flying Carpet how amazing was that bro people forgot about n seeing elevating his flamboyant ring entrances to new heights Prince came out on a flying carpet poyani bongu says that he's fought hammed in his head for three years now and every time he wins because he knows the right strategy NZ absorbed some early shots that's a big right hand from Buu though in close leaving himself a little bit open but it was only a matter of time before he

dropped a hammer comes back with a good R of his own there power some of the shots and then when he gets in the right position really plants his legs and you bangs them in hard oh and a big [Applause] left buo on the floor in the fourth round and I'm not sure he'll get up from that it was an absolutely lethal shot and he's he's not made it it's over and Prince Nassim ham ansers all his critics with a blisteringly brilliant performance here and becomes the first ever man to stop bani Buu in his

long career that was punched perfect is the old Nim hammed back yeah definitely you have to give him full cedit that was an excellent performance I mean nobody fancied bungu to beat Nas we've been saying for a long time Nas is the best featherweight in the world but everybody expected a long fight that we expected bungo to give him some problems full 34 professional bouts and never lost one and now here comes Prince n ladies and gentlemen presenting the reigning and defending undefeated featherweight champion of the world Prince py hman youd like to see Sanchez

get a little more active and stop waiting around because you wait around for a guy that hits at hard as the prin go that on a straight right hand and Michael Orga is going to rule it a put on the foot better be well and another big left HCK by Sanz and Nasim almost went down again our punch is in round number two Nassim 16 out of 30 Sanchez 13 out of 24 no longer able to elude incoming attacks as effectively ammed was tagged throughout the fight but even with fading speed Prince possessed what Teddy

Atlas calls the great eraser [Music] and once again you see the awesome punching power of Prince Nasim Ahmed and that's going to be the end of the fight Prince Nasim hammed claims his 35th consecutive Victory knocking out Orie Sanchez in devastating style to remain the Undisputed and undefeated featherweight champion of the world still The Undefeated featherweight champion of the world R Nim hammed he took his gloves off NZ so the commission can check it see if there was any metal anything can't believe the power from a wicked entrance from a flip over the rock to

a knock out now featherweights with Prince the scene when they get hit it's a whole different story when they get hit it breaks the concentration and to get ready to get knocked out next Nas would take on Marco Antonio barera one of the most anticipated featherweight showdowns a Las Vegas super fight for all the marbles it's time for hemed to live up to his own height ladies and Gentlemen let's get ready to [Applause] rumble Herrera boxing not just waiting in gets to the body wobbles now is with the left hook upstairs round one is [Applause]

all he's relying on his speed and his power and his speed is eroding Harold how do you have it through six okay Jim I got it going back and forth 57 57 three rounds of [Applause] pce counter puns counter [Applause] puns n has got to try to land a big knockout punch even at the risk of possibly being knocked out himself so in the last six rounds Marcos won five he told us there was going to be change we were going to see the combinations he told us he wouldn't to send a message out to

the other F weights in the world he didn't produce any of that all we saw there was a NE of before he was lazy it was terrific stuff but for my money Nassim Hamed has been beaten for the first time Marco [Applause] Antonio Justice is done no complaint from Hamed and he couldn't have any the loss seemed like just a minor bump in the road however it would sadly spell the end of Prince nasim's career he would fight and win one more time then quietly ride off into the sunset and one of Britain's greatest ever

boxing showman and world champions is Nassim hammed I think Robinson always got him did you feel you might have left a bit too early I had I had hand trouble you know my hands could not take the power that I generate and Prince Nim Hamed retains his title I believe I was one of the hardest punching featherweights to ever Liv he took his gloves off NZ so the commissioner can check it see if there's any metal and you can't believe the power the speed movement and power are exemplary the combinations are blindingly [Music] [Applause] fast

Prince Nassim hammed nobody brings it home like Joe nobody make it [Music] so
